Gabe Rivera introduced high volume “Firehose” RSS feeds for Techmeme, as well as his other properties including WeSmirch, memeorandum, and Ballbug.
Any story attaining headline status on Techmeme will appear in the feed within 5 minutes. This means that enthusiast readers will stay conned with well over 100 headlines per day. Casual news readers will definitely want to use the Main feed instead.
Twitter accounts for both Main and Firehose feeds are also now available.
According to Rivera, “Twitter users tend to favor a more immediate view of events around them. Following Techmeme Firehose on Twitter will provide the real-time experience these users crave.”
The following table summarizes all the relevant URLs:
